Hook a spare monitor to the video output usually on the back, if okay! the LCD panel display is defective, only option replace! go to www.ebay.com Type make and model of laptop, refine search to screen. However! if both show the same symptom it is the video graphics card.

SOURCE: Thick Black Line on Screen

This is caused by dead pixel sensors. There are hundreds of pixel sensors at the edges of the screen, when they go out it will cause a line varying in size depending on the amount of sensors that go out, and the line can vary in color, red, blue, green, white, and black. Unfortunately, the only fix for this is to replace the screen.

Remove the drop down icon bar on sony vaio

Usually, with a dropdown toolbar, you can put the cursor all the way to the top of the screen and with the toolbar visible, right click on it to activate a control menu from which you can stop it from dropping down, unlock it and move it to either sidr, or even turn it off altogether.

If this doesn't work, try entering yout laptop model name in Google search followed by "disable dropdown toolbar" for blogs and forums for your laptop model that may have a specific command or trick for your machine.

Good Luck

I have 3 black lines running across the centre of the screen of my compaq laptop,2 thick,1 thin.

if you move the screen back and forth does it change any? It sounds like either there is a connector not making good connection or your screen is bad.

There is a thick black bar across my screen. What

The thick bar you are seeing could be a couple of things - either your HDMI or any other wire your connecting has been run too close to electrical lines, or your cable incoming needs to be grounded and/or filtered. It could also be a defect in the TV - does it happen when the DVD is on as well?

Total Control Remotes - www.totalcontrolremotes.com is a good place to contact to help you with these kinds of isssues.

Line across my laptop screen

The graphics part of the laptop is going out. Recommend just replacing the laptop, it would be cheaper.
